ROSEBURG, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1929. FARMS PROSPER RICH IT lit tliis time when prune prices and prune sules are tlie subjects of conversation on nearly all Douglas uunty farms the following comments, made in the "Monthly Review of Husinoss Condition.-!," issued by the chairman of '.liejjonrd of the twelfth Federal Reserve District should be extremely interesting: Tho outlook for deciduous fruits genm-ally Is not bo fav orable UiIk year UK hint. fchicc tho May crop rrporl, tho condllion of tipplcH, peurH, antl prunes In California baa de clined anil Him condition of other fruits baa improved but Bllghlly.

We need not feel hurt that the above comments omit the mention of Douglas county's biumper prune crop because the twelfth federal reserve district is a huge area antl the comments are general as to slates. Tho significant thing in the quotation is that the prune crop in the west is con ceded to bo generally very short. Figures given in connec tion with the above analysis are that tho actual 1928 pro duction of prunes in California was M0,000,0()0 pounds. Tho estimated 1920 California prune crop is 256,000,000 pounds. t Douglas county has always been a large factor in northwest prune production. This year even the most con servative authorities estimate that our 1929 crop of prunes Will be three times as great as the 1928 crop.

TUE FlR"i-T raof: rai i FUL OF COLO "bl-AW BLEEDING UNWISE IN TREA TING BLA CK EYE Infection May Follow Breaking of the Skin, Warns Dr. Copcland, Telling How Best to Reduce the Swelling and Remove Discoloration. , liy ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senut. r from New York. Former Commissioner of il.oi'h. Sew York City. DID you ever have a black eye? If bo, you know what a lot of "kidding" your friends gave you. The tissues of the eyelids and cheek are soft and very sensitive. They overlio a ridge of hard bone. This is the edge of the orbit, the cavity within which is contained the eyeball. The parta in this region are richly sup plied with blood vessels. : All tho conditions are favorable for trouble. A blow with the fist, running against a door or M other hard object, stooping over and striking the corner of a chnir any one of tliese accidents will pinch the skin and dam ago the delicate blood vessels. Tho tissues are caught between the external object and the sharp ridge of bone. The blood vessel is crushed as it would bo with pinchers. Thero is no Wonder the thin wall is broken. When this happens the blood oozes into the soft tissues surrounding it. An accident of this sort produces the same results we find in tho skin anywhere else follow Inc a bruise. There is a "black and blue" spot. When this hannens in the neighborhood of the eye we have what is commonly called a "black eye." Doctors give this condition a big nanni "ecchyinosis of the lids." All this means is that there is a collection of blood in the connective tissues the soft portions of the eyelids. The length of time the dlscolora tloo will laat depends on the u mount of blood which has eacnped from the damaged vessel. Ordinarily it re quires from one to two weeks fo absorptlon to lukp place. The black and blue stain may cuntlnuR lunger, perhaps for a month. If you get u blew in the region of the eye It Is well to apply cold water alinuHt continuously fur an hour or bo. This ret nnts the bleeding "d reduces the quantity oozing Into the tlHSiiea diluted witch hazel may be used instead of plain wnier. Lead water nnd laudanum Is a favorite hoiinehi)ld remedy for black eye. When all danger of further bleed ing has (mssert miissaRe t helpful. You can see that this should not be applied at once, because It would break the dm and bring on renewed bleeding. But after a couple of days tt may be begun. Apply n little cocoa butter or cold rream nnrt gen .tly manipulate the discolored part. Knr cosmetic reason, or to spare yourself ridicule, you may paint the surface with some form of cosmetic. A stlclc of tho grente paint used by actors nmy be employed to smear tbe surfuce and hide the discolor ation t t unwlsft to cm the skin or to apply a leaeh. If the surface Is broken in this way it may bt;eunie Infected and cause a lot of trouble. Answrrw to flenlth Q'iyriljZ! Mlis. R. Q.

Winburn was a former resident of Ashland, near which he built a lodse, known as "Sap and Salt," where in company with Bert Moses, a paragrapher, assisted by Bert G. Bates, formerly of this city, as cartoonist, a newspaper syndicate feature was produced for several years. He came into prominence in Oregon during the campaign of Walter M. Pierce for governor and was the largest con tributor to the campaign. He made numerous gifts to Ashland, Including a hospital and communi ty center. He moved to New York about five years ago.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Philip Edison Is host at a night club party to his Just-recently-dl-vorced wife and Oliver Sewell, sportsman and Don Juan. Edison j presumes that Sewell and the di-1 vorcee are to be married. AVhen the party breaks up, Edison goes to SewelPs home and, while he is awaiting his return, Is informed Sewell has been found dead. In spector Marx begins a police in vestigation. He questions Se well's Russian valet. The elevator oper ator Is also questioned. He did not see Sewell return. A younjr medi cal examiner, with a taste for de tective work, assists Marx. Their search of the apartment reveals complete wardrobes in different colors, for women. In a safe-deposit box they find a scrap of paper bear ing the inscription, "Paid in Full". Tho following day a Major Pres ton, who has been a sporting asso ciate of Sewell's, is interrogated. Then Sewell's widow visits the apartment. She intimates that Preston might know something. As the Investigators are standing, af ter Mrs. Sewell's di'imrture, look ing at a mirror door, it opens, and Mrs. Edison appears. She relates a story which the police do not be lieve. After she leaves, her lawyer threatens Marx with political re prisals if the woman is molested. Then Edison visits the apartment. As he goes out a shot Is heard. The Russian butler Is found dead and Edison is arrested. Mary Pen nell, whose clothes are found In the apartment, is questioned. She identifies, the "Paid-in Full" note as her uncle's the Major's hand writing. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIII Now the Major's lists were clenched. "What is it you want'.'" he harked. "Something that's exceedingly difficult tn obtain in this sari world of ours," said the doctor. "I want the truth." "If you want it badly enonch," said the Major, "you can co down to the District Attorney's office and have me brought down there " Whereupon the doctor only smiled. "I don't think you really mean that. Major." "No?" "No, I don't. Now com1. Ma jor tho doetor frankly pleading, "why not tell me the facts iu thf case? Then ou'e nothing to fear. Kid low the example of your niece, who " "What did she say?" demanded the Major quickly. "She said," Ibe doctor empha sized each word. "that you'd warned her acainst Sewell." "Suppose 1 iIhI?" "Major." tb doctor chanced the subject quickly, "what was that receipt for?" "Thai was a debt," said the Ma jor. "I sci. Now. Major, I'm coins to how you un oxHinpl1 In Tranknt'sH.

U-, kg ' Our American Birds Popular Home Lessons In Natural History THE BIRD OF THE WEEK (By Louis Albert Banks) (Cut out this block each week and you will soon have an inter esting bird book c' your own.) OUR HOME OWLS abundant of all our owls In the United States and, iu sonie phases, may be found iu every state and territory on the North American continent. The plumage, without regard to age or sex, is a dark gray or rufous brown. There are some fifteen subspecies being di vided by naturalists according u their range, bucu aa Florida screech owl, Texas screech owl, Calilornla screech owl, Hockey jiuntiiu screech owl, ,and the Kenmooti screecn oi winm cu era the Northwest Pacific coast ; region, including Oregon, Wash ington and Biitibh Columbia, north to Sitka, Alaska. The Calilornla screech owl often wanderB as far as central Oregon. All the screech owis have practically the same plumage and the same habits as to food and nesting and domestic characteristics. it is a very valuable bird to man kind, of great economic profit, as he lives almost entirely on vermin of all kinds rats, mice, roaches and other obnoxious pests, very rarely attacking birds of any kind. I have seen numbers of much smaller biirds gathered about him in daylight evidently poking fun at him and giving him great an noyance. The notes of the screech owl are more weird than those of other owls. Like the howl of the coyote or the cry of the loon, there is something suggestive of human distress or agony in hlH quaver ing notes on a dark night. He often builds his nest In an old woodpecker hole in a tree, but sometimes in an unused corner of an oid barn or shed. They have from three to six pure white eggs. A pair of owls made at home about a farm are worth more than a dozen cats, and will not de stroy the song birds. The barred owl is much larger, nearly twice' as large, with two or three while bars on each feather, eyes bluish black and bill yellow. He in often accused of atrocities committed by the big homed owl, but he Is not guilty. His. eating habits are similar to the screech owl, though he lives more retired SAMUEL SPEWACK " "I believe. Mujor. that you set out to jklll Sewell because you thouKht he'd injured your niece." "That's bunk," fumed the Mujor. "Very well then," said the doc tor. "You knew Sewell pretty well. Did you know there was someone living with him?" "No," replied the Major. "You did. Now who was that person '!" "I tt.ll vnn T ,ln't t,n. Un nil, I wasn't In Sewell's confidence. i aon t Know what he was up to." "You weren't In Sewell's confi dence, aud yet you were his asso ciate?" "Yes." "You had no hatred for Sewell?" "No." The doctor rose suddenly. "Very well, Major. Since you in sist, I must ask the District At torney to see you." The Major grew red, but he was obstinate. The doctor hesitated. "The door's rlnht lu front of you," growled the Major. The doc tor, without a word, made his exit. As he emerged upon the street, he smiled. There was, he felt sure, something that tlie Major was hid ing and that something had a vital bearing on the crime. He decided to telephone Marx. Perhaps that morose individual ot itis numerous detectives had un earthed something interesting. The doctor discovered that the role of an amateur detective was not as easily played as he had pictured. He lacked, he found, that sang froid of omniscience which rightly he should have. At the moment ail he knew was that the Major de served Inquiry. Over the telephone Marx hade him come down immediately to his office. Arrivins there, he found the inspector hugging a thick manu script. "Know what this is?" he greeted the doctor. "Translation of a diary kept by our friend, the butler. Car raway found It in his suitcase, and we had it translated. Don't often find diaries In cases like these not real ones. Tint this ain't no newspaper stunt. This is real, all right, and " He paused. "And solves the Sewell mur der?'' suggested the doctor. "Kead il," commanded Marx. June fi. lttl'X This Is the diary of Ivan Stanu pin. It hits be, 'ti a long time since I have kept diaries, for the events of the revolution have been as tounding, too enormous to permit that easy rrlection of the day's happenings that I would Indulge "in in tb daysthe happy days that will never come again. Once I kept a diary because the recording of the jovousness of life gave it an additional fillip. Now I write because t really do not know why. Perhaps It Is because in the writing I may find an an swer to those things that puzzle. Or perhaps It is because I have none to talk to. really to talk to. in confidence, as a friend. I'e'bans. tm. when years have passed. I shall want to show ihis diary, perhaps publish it. Tor iu the months to come many tilings will happen. Many things must happen. And niauy in Paris, anil not a few in Moscow, win want to during the day and sometimes comes about dwellings at night. He has a deep gulteral note tike': "to-whit, to whoo!" or "Whoo-whoo-! loo-whoo-too-too!" and sometimes ' like a mocking laugh "haw-haw-' hoo-hoo!" j He is a good bird, who often has a bad name on account oi me mg horned owl's depredations. His do mestic relations are like those o the first owl described. A TRIBUTE TO THE OWL 0 symbol of wisdom, wise oid owl, You seem to wear a mouKisa cuvw.

Are there no rats for you to chase? Are there no mice Tor you to trace, That you should sit near window sill And work to such uncanny will. And foil god Morpheus' gentle woo? "To-whlt to-whoo!

Rut I -know litis much: she has assumed i the name of the Countess Nina Karasova and seems to be well supplied with money and lovers. This Is not unexpected. 1 believe if she were Bet down upon a desert Island, she would within two days acquire a luxurious home, a gen erotiB lover and money for her pre cious gambling. Nothing will or can change her. Today in accordance with my prearranged plan 1 have entered tlie employ of Oliver Sewell. Dis creet bribery of the agency official accomplished this without much trouble, and apparently Mr. Sewell was pleased with my obsequious manner. I put It on a little thick. He Is not a gentleman and to him servility is the quality most de sired lu servants. i shall set down here my prob lems, as simply and concisely us possible. !'. will help clarify my mind, and at the same time It will serve as a. record when and if this diary can be shown to the public. 1 first heard of Oliver Sewell In Petrograd.

Probably Jl was these who ciri'il- 1 latrd the report that he was an J ' adventurer: that he conlemplateil , gathering bis concessions on a shoestring anil then sellin-; out to tlie highest bidder. Anything ;n and Is possible in Ktlssia. It is a fact that, to quote the American, he mingled business with pleasure. Tho decadent cin'l In Peirograd soon enveloped him. His "conrjusts" were numerous, if A he can speak of conquests in a IM of tiorpetual orgy. Hut whatever he came to Russia Tor. liis plans wore soon changed by tlie revolutions.
